Pride and Premeditation by Tirzah Price
3.0
3.5/5 - Pride and Premeditation really won me over by the end of the book. I love a good Pride and Prejudice retelling and I tend to always enjoy them. And like most P&P retellings, I had issues with Lizzy when the book started out. Retellings tend to make Lizzy a slightly more extreme version of original Lizzy. Since Lizzy is one of my all-time favorite characters in books I feel like she needs to win me over. And by the end of Pride and Premeditation, this Lizzy had won me over.
I really loved Lizzy's ambition in this retelling. I believe the time-period is around the same time-period as the original book and this Lizzy really just wants to be an attorney and is trying to prove herself to her father so he will hire her for a job at his firm (and of course Collins is there and is just as sucky as every version of him I've ever encountered). She's not afraid to go the extra mile to uncover evidence and to prove that her client is innocent. Lizzy is such a smart strong-willed character, I love it.
This is geared toward a more YA audience and I can imagine that audience really really loving this book (and eventual series) so much. I know I'm going to be looking forward to book two in this series.
